That's good. You're the one of the only ones who tolerates me and my dog. Everyone else wishes I would take it to the pound but I just can't do that. Not even Henry Rollins likes my dog, but you know him. He's no fun.

Thanks!
I guess it's different with every song. Mostly there'll be a line I like and then I try to hum something around it. Then I check to see if it works on the guitar. I like to come up with the chorus first then make up a story around it after that. Or something like that.

I came here to watch people doing it live, but there doesn't seem to be any bangin.' Just a picture of a white guy that's either grimacing or smirking, or has some tobacco in his cheek. If you could come up with your own title for this section, what would it be? Orgcorekidzdiggit?

I think they're good. I grew up with Winnipeg playing against the Alberta teams. That's the way it should be.
I'm ok with Jerome not being a Flame. He needs to win a cup and he won't here. He's a good guy. He even held the door open for me at the coffee shop I go to!

Hey K.J! I recently picked all the chixdiggit! albums in a record store in Toronto! rad stuff I had been fan long before that but nice own them on CD I was just wondering what kind of guitar you play live?

To your knowledge has anyone ever been offended by the band name? I'd have to imagine there's at least a few super p.c. Types that will not tolerate the term "chix" or any implication of what they might dig.

Hey KJ. I really liked Chixdiggit II. Especially the songs that you changed a bit. Or made faster or slower than the originals. Any plans to rerecord other albums? And if so what songs would you like to record differently?

Would you put "Quit Your Job" in the same category as "Know Your Rights," "Born In The USA," "Holiday In Cambodia," "The Times they are a-Changin," and "Won't Get Fooled Again" as important political songs of the 20th century

Is there any story behind "I Hope Things Will Turn Around"? Everytime I hear it me thinks there must be some deep underlying meaning or person behind it, perhaps that's just me projecting... but is there a deep meaning? And can you share it?

We lost a really close friend a few years back. She took her own life. She was pretty much the last person I'd've thought would've done it. I know people always say that. It's about her and the conversations we had before it happened.

KJ, I live in an area of Madison in which most of the fraternities and sororities are located. It's not what one would traditionally call a bad part of town--socioeconomically, at least--but there is plenty of excessive drinking, obnoxiousness, fistfights, and the occasional hate crime. In the alley outside my window--again, where all the frat kids' shenanigans occur--there are usually anywhere from two to four young kids, ages approximately four to eleven, hanging out. There never seem to be any parents around, nobody seems to know who the kids are, and I'm worried they're going to get abducted or something one of these days. Also, there are almost never any police in or around this alleyway. How should I proceed? Should I talk to the kids, or try to find the parents, or call my state's child abuse and neglect prevention board? Or should I just leave it alone? I need your expert opinion.

The thing is, I've usually got a buncha weed sitting around, and I'm usually paranoid (for reasons you can probably deduce on your own), so I'm trynda keep the bacon out of it. If nothing's changed by the time my lease ends in a couple weeks, though, I'll probably just say fuck it and call 'em up.

Green Bay does have a university, but I'm done with college, so I would never move to GB unless I was living in Lambeau.

Hi KJ. BIG fan!
What is the bit of lyrics that you sing in J-Crew, "She probably didn't want me there either, ??? in between".
And CGIT is Canadian Girls In Training, but what is that???
Also what's your day job?

Last time I saw you play in London you had the list of songs on the stage and were just taking playing whatever people shouted out from it. Is that a regular thing, or was it just something you did for a few shows? Only other time I saw you live was in 2000 so I've no idea. It was a really cool way to do it though.

We've always used a menu (as Kepi calls it). I've never been able to follow a set list. We tried a couple of times and it didn't work. We saw a band one time that told the crowd that they weren't a "fucking jukebox" when the crowd was asking for songs. We're happy when people want to hear a specific song. The "menu" rules.

Long time fan here. I saw Chixdiggit play with Cletus in South Carolina at little warehouse about 15 years ago. You put on a hell of show... one of the best show I've ever seen, and I've been a diehard fan ever since. Thanks for the rock and roll memories. Now that I live in LA, I see you guys occasionally hit the West Coast, but never play LA proper. Do you plan on hitting LA in 2014 or will it be the usual Santa Barbara or San Diego stops?

I remember that show. We were out there to play a wedding.
We always try to do an LA show but are usually short on time. I think it's a good idea that we try harder next time. Maybe we can do it when the Oilers are playing the Kings or Ducks!

Thanks! I guess at this point we're undecided if it's a one-off joke or something we should do all the time. It's fun to do and the booze involved is a tax write off - although I should run that one by our tax lady to make sure.

whatever happened to the Canadian band "Pluto"?
What's your 3 favorite chixdiggit songs to play live?
Saw you guys in 97' in Chicago opening for The Muffs, was Groovie Ghoulies also on that bill? I think so.

Pluto broke up a while back, I think. The bass player married Mike Eggermont and Mark O'Flaherty's roommate Hilary.
Great Legs, Miso Ramen and You're Pretty Good.
GG's were on that whole tour. One of the best we were ever part of.

Hi KJ! I used to play drums in Mulligan Stu. We played a show with you guys and The High-Fives somewhere in the mid-west, might have been Iowa or Michigan. There was a whole show that happened before ours, so when we got to play, all the bands could on;y play 20 minutes. It was actually pretty awesome, yet lame because I would have loved a whole show. Anyways, just wanted to say the latest EP is hella awesome, some of my favorite stuff you've done. Looking forward to the next LP. Hope NYC is in the cards.
